February 27, 2013 — (Ellijay, GA.) A reader asked a simple question this week: If the stock market is going to tank (which we’ll discuss, too) then how does a person make some real money on that possibility? So this morning a discussion of “How to be a bear…” After, first, rambling amongst the headlines to warm up the neurons a bit…

February 23, 2013 — (Ellijay, GA.) Suppose for a minute that there were some kind of “other world” out there which had inhabitants in it and that one of the jobs of these “otherworlders” was to figure out an easy-to-use method of evaluating “good” people and distinguishing them from “bad” people. Could it be done? Since I’m sequestered (ahead of the rest of the country) writing my next book “Cradle to Grave” Everything’s a business model” in a Georgia motel room, I’ve been working on precisely this question. It’s a kind of Boolean IF – THEN. Suprisingly, the answer turned out to be easy, but only if you have been following our “WuJo” reports of late. So after a a look at some headlines, some thoughts on how “other-worlds” might judge human business models…and in turn, human progress. Why it might even work for us inmates in life, too…

February 16, 2013 — A friend of mine, Dr. Ron Klatz who heads up the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine, A4M.com, recently announced plans for something to be called Taskforce13. The reason this is such an important issue at present is that the global power elite are trying to figure out what to do with emergent anti-aging technologies which indisputably work. After being ready to railroad anti-aging, Klatz was one of the key people at the World Economic Conference in Dubai, who successfully argued in favor or age-extension technologies and that, at least for now, has a lot of shakers and movers in the PTB going back to the drawing board to figure out “OK, so what DO we do?” The reason is clear: The way ahead is particularly grim if you look just at the dollars and cents, instead of focusing first on the sense of what our real choices are. So this week, a look at the balance scale to see what life extension may – and may not – be able to do. After our usual morning headlines, first…

February 13, 2013 — After a series of very long Peoplenomics articles, this morning we return to our economic roots as we ponder the way ahead. This is particularly important because of last night’s State of the Union and some of the news items which popped up this spring in our monitoring of predictions and forecasts. Plus we can eye “record highs” in the market with a bit more suspicion now that the Fed has updated its online inflation calculator through 2013. It ain’t pretty. As always, nothing like a few headlines to wake up the brain, so we’ll deal with those straightaway…

February 9, 2013 — Although dreaming is one of those “soft” skills few respectable economists will admit to being curious about, their very industry depends on correctly capturing and correctly assessing key aspects of the future in order to make profitable investment decisions. Isn’t “investing” simply buying “today” what will have greater value at some time in the “future?” So this morning we’ll have a deep poke and prod at this soft-squishy stuff that arrives at the moment of touch; when all potential alternatives coalesce into Now. Since we’ve had a bunch of earthquakes in the South Pacific (more on them in a moment) we could be meandering toward what predictive linguistics suggests could be a Global Coastal Event in our future: this year. But practical matters first. Coffee, headlines, and charts.
